Rare High Surf

On Hawaii's South shores
A L O H A From Honolulu!
Oahu's NORTH Shore is famous for surf,
But THIS is South Shore Waikiki yesterday.
Shot on my normal morning walk.

Sometimes in the morning,
when it's a good surf,
I go out there, and
I don't feel like
it's a bad world.
   Kary Mullis






Now, as we stand
three feet apart
and stare at each other,
I feel the full distance
that comes with spending
so much time apart,
a moment filled with
the electricity of a
first meeting and the
uncertainty of strangers.
 Marie Lu




Also A MAJOR GOOD Mango Season!

People are too complicated
to have simple labels.
   Philip Pullman




All the air you'll ever need
is in the boredom of your life.
But the magic is in
the miniscule mundane.
Jason Reynolds




Never love anyone
who treats you
like you're ordinary.

Hello,
I would enjoy watching the high surf. The mangos do look good!
Love the blooming tree and your sweet Pixie.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy new week!

Teresa said...

Love the mangos and Pixie in the grocery bag. Is she protecting a cache of mangos or her catnip? Lovely post today. Thanks!

Cloudia said...

You are both lovely 🌹

Our grocery carries mango nectar. It's twice as thick as mango juice and 10 times as good. BUT... it recently went from $2.50 a bottle to $3.89. I'm sadly boycotting.

Love the Oscar Wilde quote and the surf shot.

Mangoes are yummy!
I saw a twitter post showing a bunch of party goers swamped with water! It looks scary.

That is one amazing morning walk there! How beautiful. I don't know much about surf, but from your description it sounds wild!! A beautiful bounty of mangoes too! Lucky you. Aloha to you from Oregon.

To have a view like that while drinking your favorite brew in the morning would be incredible. You are SO blessed, Cloudia.

Thanks for the update on the record breaking swells, too.

That wave is awesome!

Hi Cloudia, A nice place to walk in the morning. Our beach here is too cold and way too windy to sit on the beach. You have some very profound quotes today. I would love some mango. I have been craving it for months now. I have been buying mango drinks but nothing is like the real thing. Have a great day today.

I've been watching episodes from the original Hawaii 5-0 tv series, and sometimes they show beach scenes. Gorgeous landscapes!

Happy T Tuesday

I got to go to Waikiki when we were there. The video of the waves and surfer was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Happy T Day!

On the news recently we saw a giant wave that crashed over the roof of buildings and swamped a wedding party. Yikes! hugs to beautiful Pixie

Lisca said...

I love all the quotes by the way.
Happy T-Day,
